Fly. Driving about 3 hours would be my max. I just get sleepy! And yet I know people who make many trips from Philly to Florida in one shot, just pulling into rest stops here and there for a cat nap. I'm in awe of them!!

When I traveled from Philly to Boston, I flew. Philly to NYC, I've taken the train or bus. Long car trips where I am the passenger are interminable and unbelievably boring -- SO many miles on an interstate. I've gone from Philly to Maine and Philly to Alabama in a car. Awful.

If time were really no factor and I had to drive, I would take many scenic back roads, pick small cities or interesting towns to stay in and do some site-seeing. I've traveled up into New England this way, meandering here and there and it was very nice.

Drive. I don't mind flying and will do it when the situation absolutely calls for it, but for me nothing beats hopping behind the wheel and just going. I keep trying to convince my bosses in Dallas to let me drive down there for my sync-ups with the team there, but they keep insisting I fly.

We've been driving the past few years, with three kids it gets expensive and there really isn't any more deals to be had. A few years ago our local tavel agency had a companion fare deal, you paid full price for the first ticket $199 and the second ticket was $99, we bought two sets of those and my daughter was under three so she got to fly free. We bought this special for 3 summers in a row, RT from MN to San Diego.
Those were some nice prices, now we drive to CA.

Have not been on an airplane since 1967, so that pretty much answers the question. No fear with or problem in flying, just have never had the need or urge to do so. At one time or another have driven in most parts of the American West west of the Rockies, and still have a few places left. My driving limit in one day is 600 miles or 12 hours, whichever comes first, and those are the max limits, prefer shorter when possible.
